How to get my visualforce page apex code through rest api?

I want to get my visualforce page apex code through rest API. I tried metadata API like /services/data/v41.0/sobjects/{sobjectName}/describe/layouts and I am able to access fields information but I want to access apex code of the page where define all fields and triggers.

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks

Solution

  • You can get the body of Apex classes (that aren't part of managed packages) from a query on the ApexClass standard object:

    curl \
-H 'X-PrettyPrint: 1' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer <session-id>' \
https://ap4.salesforce.com/services/data/v43.0/tooling/query?q=SELECT+Body+FROM+ApexClass+LIMIT+1

    Visualforce pages can be retrieved similarly through a query on the ApexPage standard object to retrieve the Markup:

    curl \
-H 'X-PrettyPrint: 1' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer <session-id>' \
https://ap4.salesforce.com/services/data/v43.0/tooling/query?q=SELECT+Markup+FROM+ApexPage+LIMIT+1
